Product Definition
Commercial Sliding Entrances Built Around Project Conditions
Commercial automatic sliding doors are planned for entrances with repeat or concentrated pedestrian use, where passage, movement, sensing and building interfaces must be coordinated as one project.
Commercial describes the use and operating conditions rather than one fixed movement or door-body structure. Building type alone does not determine the final layout, operator system, glass, frame or control package.
Confirm the Product Direction
A project may also match a Bi-Parting, Telescopic, All Glass, Aluminum Framed or Surface Mounted product direction. Review the available opening, side space, door construction and supply boundary before selecting the route.

Commercial Project Priorities
What Commercial Entrance Teams Need to Decide
Safe Passage
Review activation zones, presence detection, slower users and people who may stop near the threshold. The sensing and operating plan should follow the entrance conditions and project requirements.
Access and Building Controls
Identify reception, access-control, locking, security and building-management signals early so that the automatic sliding door system can be reviewed with the required interfaces.
Supply and Coordination Scope
Clarify complete-door requirements, items supplied by others, drawing responsibilities, interface points and future service access before the quotation is prepared.
Project Requirements
Plan the Door Around Six Project Conditions
Traffic Pattern and Peak Periods
Who uses the entrance, from which directions, and when is traffic concentrated?
Traffic mix and peak demand affect the required passage, movement discussion, sensing zones and operating strategy.
Send user groups, peak periods, traffic direction, expected operating hours and any carts, luggage or mobility requirements.
Clear Opening and Available Side Space
What clear opening is required and how much travel space is available beside the opening?
The opening target and side space influence the door movement, number of leaves and whether another same-level sliding-door product direction should be reviewed.
Send the structural opening width and height, required clear opening, available side space and any nearby columns, walls or façade constraints.
Door Movement and Leaf Construction
Which movement direction, leaf arrangement, frame and glass construction are being considered?
Movement and construction choices affect estimated leaf weight, appearance, hardware selection and the coordination of the complete entrance package.
Send the preferred opening pattern, leaf count, framing, finish, glass type and estimated weight when known.
Activation and Presence Detection
How should the door be activated and where must people be detected during the passage?
Activation and presence sensing serve different functions and must be reviewed around approach paths, threshold behavior and project-defined operating requirements.
Send approach directions, preferred activation method, presence-safety expectations and any special operating states.
Access Control and Building Interfaces
Which access, locking, security or building systems need to exchange signals with the door?
Interface requirements affect controller coordination, operating modes and the signals that must be confirmed before production.
Send access methods, lock states, reception logic, emergency requirements and available interface information.
Supply Boundary and Service Access
Is the inquiry for an operator system, selected components or a complete door package?
A clear supply boundary prevents gaps between the door package, façade, power, access-control work and installation responsibilities.
Send the requested supply scope, work by others, drawing responsibilities, destination and available header or maintenance access.
System Coordination
Coordinate the Automatic Door System and Building Interfaces
Operator and drive
Moves the selected door leaves and is reviewed against the proposed leaf arrangement, estimated weight and operating conditions.
Controller
Coordinates movement, adjustable settings, operating modes and approved external control signals.
Track and hangers
Support and guide the door leaves; their configuration depends on the door construction and supply scope.
Activation sensing
Detects an approaching user or receives an opening request from a push button or approved control input.
Presence safety
Monitors the passage area so the selected control strategy can respond when a person or obstruction remains near the doorway.
Access-control interface
Receives project-approved signals from card readers, keypads, face-recognition devices or building control systems.
Locking and operating states
Coordinates automatic, open, closed, partial-open or one-way use with the project's access and security logic.
Door leaves and frames
Complete the visible entrance and must be coordinated with glass, framing, finish, façade details and estimated leaf weight.

Frequently Asked Questions
Commercial Automatic Sliding Door FAQs
Direct answers for commercial entrance selection, system coordination, supply scope and quotation preparation.
What makes an automatic sliding door suitable for commercial use?
Commercial suitability comes from matching the entrance system to repeated or concentrated pedestrian use. The review should include traffic, clear opening, door leaves, sensing, controls, operating states and the requested supply scope.
Is one sliding layout suitable for every high-traffic entrance?
No. Required clear opening, available side space, traffic direction, façade conditions and door-leaf construction can lead to different sliding product directions.
Can commercial automatic sliding doors use bi-parting or telescopic movement?
Yes, a commercial project may be reviewed with bi-parting or telescopic movement when the opening and side-space conditions support it. These remain same-level product directions and require project confirmation.
Can the door connect to access control and building systems?
Yes, project-approved card-reader, keypad, face-recognition or building-system signals can be reviewed. The signal type, control logic, lock state and operating requirements must be confirmed before compatibility is stated.
What affects commercial automatic sliding doors price and cost?
Pricing depends on opening size, leaf construction and weight, frame and glass choices, operator package, sensors, access interfaces, quantity, supply scope, destination and available project information.
Can SEPPES provide an operator system instead of a complete door?
Our main focus is complete door supply. Operator systems, components and accessories are generally supplied to existing customers as replacement, spare or repair parts. Large-volume standalone requirements, such as hundreds or thousands of sets, can be discussed separately.
What information is required for a quotation?
Send the project use, quantity, opening dimensions, clear-opening target, side space, leaf and frame information, traffic, sensors, access requirements, destination, supply scope and any drawings or site photographs.
How should buyers evaluate an automatic sliding door manufacturer or supplier?
Evaluate whether the manufacturer or supplier asks for project conditions, separates operator and complete-door scope, confirms interfaces through drawings, explains production and quality control, and can support spare parts and remote coordination.
